Founded in 1492, Cantina do Mori is the oldest wine bar in Venice (which is WOW in itself). It’s one of those rare places that firmly feels like you’ve stepped back in time without seeming gimmicky or overly touristy.
The soul of Cantina do Mori is probably maintained thanks to the owner of the bar who is incredibly welcoming. The first time I went there we started chatting, his son was about to start university in Milan. We ended up talking about the rental market, safety in a big city like Milan, etc. I remember feeling like I had made a friend when I finally walked out the door over an hour later.
Besides getting a glass a wine (or two or three), you can also get a selection of cicchetti which are small tapa size plates featuring traditional Venetian dishes. I’d strongly suggest you try the Baccalà Mantecato (whipped smoked cod), and the moscardini in mano (moscardini are a sort of baby octopus). The mini tramezzini sandwiches called Francobolli (stamps) should also be tried.
Expect to spend around 2-4€ per small plate of food and 3-6€ per glass of wine.

AMERICA'S 1st Ever VENTIAN WINE BAR
DANIEL BELLINO ZWICKE Opens America's 1st ever Venetian Wine Bar (Bacaro) ... Bar Cichetti, W. Houston Street, NY NY
There was a guy named Daniel who took a trip in 1995 to Explore, seek-out, and Study the BACARI (Venetian Wine Bars) of the Magical City of
VENICE, Italy. He had read a article in the New York Times about these treasures of the Enchanted City of the Adriatic, "La Serenissima" Venice, "or as the Italians say VENENZIA."
When he was in Venice, he asked as many questions as he could, striking up conversations with anyone who would listen, "many did." !!!!
Daniel took lots of pictures, ate, drank Wine, and gather recipes. He was smitten with Venice, its Wine Bars (Bacari, BACARO the singular).
Daniel "Fell in Love," with the Wine Bars (Bacari) of Venice and felt he just had to open one in NEW YORK. He vowed. Knowone had ever done it. He would be the "FIRST"
Daniel gathered all his info, his RECIPES, pictures, book, everything. He worked on all his recipes, cooking constantly for Friends and Family, he made a Business Plan. He found a partner who "Loved the Idea" as well. They shook hands and vowed to open "BAR CICHETTI" the BACARO (FIRST VENETIAN WINE BAR) "Ever in the United STATES.
Daniel and Tom created a beautiful Bacaro / Trattoria, with special Imported Venetian Fabric for the banquettes, wainscotting, a beautiful Wood Bar, and fabulous Venetian Glass Chandeliers and scones.
Besides coming up the Idea and Concept of Bar Cichetti, Daniel was the Wine Director and Executive Chef. Daniel's food was incredible. His Caponata was the best in town, his Paparadelle with Duck Ragu was justly famous, and as the Journal of Italian Food and Wine stated, his Bolognese Sauce was considered to be one of the "Best in the Country" Daniel garnered many accolades for the Wine List he created, but especially for his true and tasty Regional Italian Cuisine, gaining positive reviews from : New York Magazine, Crains, Time-Out New York, Wine & Spirits Magazine, and even a 5 Page Color Spread in a Newspaper in Sao Paolo, Brazil.
Places like these, in Venetian are called Bacari: they are historic and typical Venetian taverns where natives and foreigners meet to drink an ombra and a cichetto, which in Venetian indicate respectively a glass of wine and an appetizer, or finger food to put it in the modern way.
In addition, our cellar offers the customer more than five hundred wine labels, especially national ones, together with an important choice of Whiskey, Grappa, Vodka and liqueurs.
